Specifying and Verifying Concurrent Programs.
Leslie Lamport · 1985
The goal of this project was the development of formal methods for the specification and verification of concurrent programs to help avoid software errors in concurrent systems. This involved research in three areas: Specification; Verification; and Semantics. Contents: What It Means for a Concurrent Program to Satisfy a Specification; An Axiomatic Semantics of Concurrent Programming Languages; Constraints - A Uniform Approach to Aliasing and Typing.
